MEM.LOG FILE

 

The MEM.LOG file is a record of interactions that occurred since you last started the game. Every time you start or load a game, MEM.LOG is restarted.
     Although originally included for bug-hunting purposes, MEM.LOG can provide some interesting information. The first column is free memory available to the program, the second is the game's internal name for the last interaction, the third is the name of the associated art file, the fourth ("fls") is the number of files open, the fifth ("evnts") is an internal program value, the sixth ("pwr") is a rating of the party's power, and the seventh is the current time (format is month:day:year:hour).
     Free memory is deceptive because the most memory intensive parts of the game (the battles) are not recorded in MEM.LOG.
     Party power ("pwr")is also very interesting. This value runs from 1 to 9, and rates overall power of your party. It takes into account attributes, skills, equipment, and knowledge. For competitive players, you haven't really "max-ed out" a party until its power is consistantly at 9. In theory, a party power of 10 is available, but we never confirmed whether real-life parties can reach this value.
